Yeah I worked nine to nine

But they gave me overtime

They said you gotta work harder

Or you’ll never get out of the slime

It was the nine to nine blues

It was the nine to nine blues

You never win you only lose

It was the nine to nine blues

Yeah I worked for three years

Or was it twenty four?

It was blood sweat and tears

All my hopes were crushed on the floor

It was the nine to nine blues

It was the nine to nine blues

You never win you only lose

It was the nine to nine blues

Then one day God spoke to me

loud and clear

He said dust down your guitar

And get the hell out of here

It was the nine to nine blues

It was the nine to nine blues

You never win you only lose

It was the nine to nine blues

It was the nine to nine blues

It was the nine to nine blues

It was the nine to nine blues

It was the nine to nine blues

You never win you only lose

It was the nine to nine blues (repeat)
